Pay attention that you don't shave the same area more than once.Īll in all this is a decent product but the entry-level price is over $10 so I hope my review helps you decide whether to try it or not. It can be difficult to tell how much product is left behind on your skin. One warning: this product is almost translucent on the skin. The advantage with Beard Lube is that since you use such a small amount the tube will probably last a while and the moisturizing effect is better than the foam products. The shave wasn't super smooth but it did match the performance of regular canned, foaming goo. All I know is that my skin does feel better than it did before the shave. Maybe because it is so thick and rich? Maybe one or more of the ingredients (Macadamia nut oil, jojoba oil, glycerin, or heather) contributed to this. I was pleasantly surprised at the moisturizing effects of Beard Lube.

I had some lingering irritation from a previous shave using an inferior (IMO) product and was worried that I would further irritate my skin by shaving. I did two passes: first WTG then ATG, which is my normal routine. These were all quite noticeable after a hot shower. It contains three ingredients that fans of other minty products will appreciate: peppermint, eucalyptus and menthol. (I had similar clogging issues with Hydroplane.) If you take your time to rinse well between passes you shouldn't have much of a problem. My beard was fairly heavy though (about three days growth) so I won't contest that point too much. I noticed that it did clog my razor even though it claims to not clog. I have shaved with Beard Lube using a Mach 3. It may work with electric shavers but I assume most people would use it with a cartridge razor. Therefore, this is not a product to be used with a DE razor or a straight razor. (Jack Black recommends a quarter-sized amount for one shave.) It won't foam and does not need to be massaged in or mixed with water. If you are not familiar with either of these products let me explain: they are thick creams that you can spread in a thin layer over your beard. Beard Lube by Jack Black is YANLSC (Yet Another No Lather Shave Cream) and is similar to Hydroplane from Billy Jealousy.
